Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO GET 2 NEW BATTERIES WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE SENIORS AND HAVE BEEN IN PLEASE WHERE WE HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHARGED AT LEAST TWICE NOT INCLUDING THE TIMES IT FAILED ON US. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS A VERY SAFE VEHILE FOR SENIORS. OUR WARRANTY WILL BE UP IN A YEAR. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO MANY ELECTRONICS, THEY SHOULD HAVE A STRONGER BATTERY IF IT IS USED SO MUCH. WE HAVE NOT USED IT FOR LONG TRIPS, AS WE ARE UNSURE OF OUR SAFETY.. IS THERE ANY FIX THAT SUBARU IS WORKING ON. WE NOW KEEP ALL OUR LIGHT SWITCHES IN THE OFF POSITION.
